Story & heritage
The 0003 Aviator Sunglasses elevate a classic Cutler and Gross shape first popularised in the 1970s, according to official product copy.
It sits apart from the acetate icons by translating the house aviator into a featherlight precious-metal construction.
Materials & craft
Cutler and Gross lists 18K White Gold Rhodium, 18K Gold, 18K Rose Gold and a 24K Yellow Gold plus 18K Rhodium combination among the plated options.
The official description also notes a flatline temple and muted ZEISS Sunlens colourways chosen to emphasise the metal tones.
How to choose & style
0003 is the dress aviator: it works with finer tailoring, silk knitwear and evening outerwear better than chunky acetate.
Rose Gold warms the face, White Gold Rhodium keeps it cool, and the two-tone option is the most jewellery-like.
